Podcast appearances and mentions of kurt willems

Kurt Willems of the Theology Curator podcast joins us to talk about why Jesus was political, how Jesus did politics, and how the church today can follow in the footsteps of Jesus when living publicly.

This four-week series deals with parables of Jesus from the Gospel of Luke. Through understanding the context and audience, we can see that parables teach us about God's goodness, prayer, generosity, and ultimately—life in the kingdom of God. We'll discover that the way of Jesus is in fact a way—a path where we can know Jesus, become more like him, and practice his patterns of spiritual formation so we can do the sorts of things that he did.

In our summer series, JOY/FULL, we'll walk through one of the apostle Paul's most impactful letters: Philippians. One of the key messages of Paul's letter to the church of Philippi focuses on cultivating true joy, because in Jesus's kingdom we can find contentment, even when things are hard. Join us as we unpack this letter passage-by-passage. We'll discover what it might look like to have joy that makes us fully content, no matter what we face.

Jesus and the Bible get credit for lots of things. Sometimes the "things" have little to do the God of the Scriptures. In our new series, Things Jesus Never Said, we'll cover the cliches that need to be challenged or refined as we seek to grow as followers of Jesus in regular life. 

In this training, we continue our exploration of the five gifts that Jesus has given his church. Every Christ-follower has specific gifts given to them by Jesus so that we might all become more like Jesus, experience the fullness of God's presence, and participate in his ongoing mission in the world together. This week we look at the third of these five gifts: evangelists.Special thanks to Alan Hirsch. J.R. Woodward, Nathan Brewer, Jessie Cruickshank, Kurt Willems, Ashley Dalen, and Matthew Million for their contributions to this training.

This four-week series explores the importance of having margin in our lives. Margins are “the space between our load and our limits” (Mark Lenz), times that we can give God to grow in our walk with him. Each week focuses on a different spiritual discipline—directly related to margin—that we see put on display in the life of Jesus.

He has a master of divinity degree from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary and a master of arts in comparative religion from the University of Washington. He and his wife, Lauren, have two daughters and reside in Calgary, Canada.  

What do we do in response to our pain? How is our pain redeemed? Kurt Willems, husband, father, pastor and childhood survivor of abuse talks about this with Troy. Kurt chronicles his journey in his book Echoing Pain: How the Humanity of Jesus Redeems Our Pain. 

Where is God in our worst moments? For those of us who have experienced some event that caused immense pain, it can be nearly impossible to see how God was present in that moment. After all, if he was there, wouldn't he have saved us? Kurt Willems wrestled with this question as he spent his life struggling to heal from abuse he experienced as a child. Now, Kurt spends his life teaching others the things he learned in his own healing journey, and helping people to answer that question in their own stories. Kurt sits down with Davey to share some of his story and the things he's learned about the presence of God in the midst of our sufferings.

How does the humanity of Jesus interact with, and ultimately redeem our pain? This is exactly the question Kurt Willems deals with in his debut book, Echoing Hope. Kurt is a pastor, podcaster, author, and very engaging creative thinker. You can learn more about Kurt here.

We all experience difficulties and hardships. But how can we learn to live richly in the midst of them? And even grow spiritually because of them? The answer is found in the hopeful humanity of Jesus. Scot McKnight and Kurt Willems unpack what led Kurt to write a book about the hope that comes from Jesus' humanity. As the Son of God, Jesus wasn’t exempt from suffering, disappointment, or injustice. He lived in the real world as a real person. He wept for those he loved. He felt hunger and thirst. He endured temptation, betrayal, and ridicule. He died after being unjustly tortured. And somehow through it all, he embodied hope—by defeating death and opening a new world of life for us.
